threat of a black invasion from a neighborhood like Carver Ranches- which, arnong its other problerns, is suspected of being the headquarters of a gang of arrned robbers called the Dixie Playboys. It is acknowledged that the failure of the Pembroke Park City Comrnission-five c0111rnissioners who choose a 111ayor frorn their own ranks-to exercise rnore control over Courtney has the appearance of being a bit wacka-wacka, but there is a logi- cal, unh urnorous explanation even for' that: the cornrnissioner who had al- ways run the city more or less single- handed-Phil Bryan, a rnobile-home- park operator who had been rnayor ever since he and a couple of other landowners carved Pernbroke Park out of the county, in 1957-was away in the hospital during the rnost active rnonths of Courtney's arms buildup. Among the theories Bryan offered upon his return was that Courtney, who was always hoping to lose weight, rnight have taken enough diet pills to drive him round the bend. I have sorne syrnpathy for those who believe that Pernbroke Park got tagged as Bozoville sirnply because Tom Courtney happened to apply for a job there instead of in Mirarnar or Lau- derdale Lakes or Sunrise. While I was in Pembroke Park, in fact, sornebody told me that Sunrise, in particular, makes Pembroke Park's governrnent seem positively dour. I suppose that a town that has acquired a Looney Tunes reputation does ternpt reporters to keep an eye out for the colorful-to dwell on the fact, for instance, that the mayor was living in a trailer under- neath a television tower. At tirnes, Gerald Y ourrnan was telling reporters that they ought to write more about how his administration straightened out the financial mess it inherited three years earlier and less about his n10tor- cycle; at tirnes, he was telling them about his rnotorcycle. Y ourrnan-a short, voluble rnan who grew up in Brooklyn-struck rne as the sort of fellow who is first to arrive at the over-forty singles dance. He retired to a mobile-horne park in Pembroke Park after twenty years in the Arrny, so that he could be near his rnother. I suppose reporters could put less ernphasis on the fact that he rides a rnotorcycle- he does not, after all, seem like the rnotorcycle-riding type-but what are they supposed to do when he explains his resignation as rnayor by saying, "The King of England gave up his throne for the wornan he loved"?
